Tell me, Chillybean - what music will you perform/and or be listening to when you get old?

And when will you get old? What will be the defining age when, as Roger Daltry said, you hope you die before you get to it?

The important thing is not to rage against spurious folk awards or age or folk clubs, but to get out, make your own music, start your own club, have fun, do your own thing. And if you get irritated by clubs or festivals or attitudes, then find a decent open session, singaround or open mic - like the two or three I attend each month - which have a completely wide mixture of ages and musical styles from teens to old-timers and from trad tunes to jazz and blues.
